A USC conta dende esta semana cunha nova empresa de base tecnol\u00f3xica. A spin-off Neutron Insights,<\/strong> nacida ao abeiro da investigaci\u00f3n desenvolvida no Instituto Galego de F\u00edsica de Altas Enerx\u00edas (IGFAE), acaba de constitu\u00edrse no marco da \u00c1rea de Valorizaci\u00f3n, Transferencia e Emprendemento (AVTE) da USC. O proxecto, promovido dende o IGFAE polos investigadores Yassid Ayyad<\/strong> e Pablo Cabanelas<\/strong>, consiste no desenvolvemento dun sistema de tomograf\u00eda industrial por emisi\u00f3n de neutr\u00f3ns. Esta tecnolox\u00eda mellora as prestaci\u00f3ns das habituais radiograf\u00edas con raios X, ao aumentar a precisi\u00f3n das imaxes e ampliar as posibilidades de an\u00e1lise nas mostraxes. Tal e como resumen Ayyad e Cabanelas, esta innovaci\u00f3n permite \u201cver o que os raios X non poden ver\u201d.<\/p>\n

Os defectos de fabricaci\u00f3n non detectados supo\u00f1en, todos os anos, perdas multimillonarias na industria e na construci\u00f3n de infraestruturas en todo o mundo. Nestes procesos \u00e9 habitual a revisi\u00f3n dos materiais a trav\u00e9s de t\u00e9cnicas de radiograf\u00eda, principalmente raios X, para anticiparse a futuros problemas. Por\u00e9n, son sistemas con limitaci\u00f3ns, xa que non poden penetrar en elementos pesados (aceiro, ferro, chumbo, ou formig\u00f3n, por exemplo) e non permiten diferenciar os elementos qu\u00edmicos ou substancias presentes na estrutura analizada. Fronte a isto, a tomograf\u00eda por emisi\u00f3n de neutr\u00f3ns supera estes obst\u00e1culos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Segundo salientan os promotores de Neutron Insights, o desenvolvemento desta tecnolox\u00eda foi posible grazas \u00e1 longa traxectoria do IGFAE no dese\u00f1o e construci\u00f3n de detectores de radiaci\u00f3n ionizante. A partir desta experiencia acumulada foi posible idear un sistema axeitado para a detecci\u00f3n de neutr\u00f3ns, que permite identificar as diferentes part\u00edculas, reconstru\u00edr o seu percorrido e discriminar a enerx\u00eda emitida. Por estes motivos, a tomograf\u00eda por emisi\u00f3n de neutr\u00f3ns est\u00e1 especialmente indicada para materiais densos, como metais (de gran relevancia para a industria 4.0), e permite caracterizar a composici\u00f3n qu\u00edmica da mostraxe que se analiza.<\/p>\n

Debido a esta innovaci\u00f3n, os clientes poder\u00e1n descubrir, tanto no laboratorio como in situ, defectos de fabricaci\u00f3n e detalles en tubaxes, soldaduras, fuselaxes de aeronaves ou pas de aeroxeradores, que non son quen de atopar con outros ensaios ou t\u00e9cnicas non invasivas. Al\u00e9n disto, os efectos caracter\u00edsticos da dispersi\u00f3n e perda de enerx\u00eda dos neutr\u00f3ns engaden valor \u00e1 aplicaci\u00f3n desta tecnolox\u00eda: \u00e9 posible obter imaxes sen que o detector estea ali\u00f1ado co feixe que incide nel, como acontece cos raios X.<\/p>\n

Na s\u00faa traxectoria, o equipo de Neutron Insights xa recibiu diversos reco\u00f1ecementos polo car\u00e1cter innovador da idea e as s\u00faas perspectivas de aplicaci\u00f3n ao mercado. En 2022, o proxecto (nun principio bautizado como REMA), foi premiado no programa de emprendemento Argos da USC.<\/a> Actualmente, \u00e9 unha das iniciativas finalistas na aceleradora de empresas ViaGalicia,<\/a> que promoven o Consorcio da Zona Franca de Vigo e a Xunta de Galicia.<\/p>\n

A constituci\u00f3n de Neutron Insights sup\u00f3n un novo fito que contribuir\u00e1 a achegar \u00e1 sociedade as innovaci\u00f3ns cient\u00edficas xurdidas nos laboratorios do IGFAE. Nisto xoga un papel clave a Unidade de Transferencia de Co\u00f1ecemento e Tecnolox\u00eda deste centro mixto da USC e a Xunta de Galicia, que pon ao dispor do persoal investigador os recursos precisos para conectar a ciencia que se desenvolve no centro coa industria, identificando potenciais resultados de investigaci\u00f3n transferibles \u00e1 sociedade.<\/p>\n

Despois da acta de constituci\u00f3n da empresa, \u00e1 que asistiu o reitor Antonio L\u00f3pez<\/strong>, celebrouse unha reuni\u00f3n no IGFAE co gallo do nacemento do proxecto. Ademais dos promotores de Neutron Insights, participaron no encontro Lu\u00eds Otero<\/strong>, delegado do reitor para a Transferencia do Co\u00f1ecemento, Diego Su\u00e1rez Pousa<\/strong>, da AVTE, e Carlos Salgado<\/strong>, director do IGFAE.<\/p>\n
